Stars exist to remind us,
that we are fleas.
No matter who we are,
the stars will exist longer.
In the long run,
they will matter more.
But is existing the same
as living?
Are influence and duration
more important than experience?
Simply existing is not life.
Stars exist to remind us to live.
To remind us that life
is too short not to live.
We don't have the time that
stars do which allows them
to simply exist.
